PHP_CodeSniffer 1.4.6 and 1.5.0RC3 released

25 Jul

PHP_CodeSniffer versions 1.4.6 and 1.5.0RC3 have just been uploaded to PEAR and are now available to install. Version 1.4.6 is primarily a bug fix release, but also contains a new JSON report format, a huge number of sniff docs, and a few new sniffs (mostly in the Squiz standard).

Version 1.5.0RC3 additionally contains a fix for the --report-file command line argument, support for a new T_GOTO_LABEL token, and a change to PHP_CodeSniffer::isCamelCaps() to allow acronyms at the start of a string if not performing a strict check.

Special thanks to the 9 developers who directly contributed code to these releases. Your help is always very much appreciated. And special thanks to Spencer Rinehart for writing so much documentation for the included sniffs.
